These are the eyes and the lies of the takenThese are their hearts but their hearts don't beat like oursThey burn 'cause they are all afraidFor every one of us, there's an army of themBut you'll never fight alone'Cause I wanted you to know

That the world is uglyBut you're beautiful to meWell are you thinking of me now (now)

These are the nights and the lights that we fade inThese are the words but the words aren't coming outThey burn 'cause they are hard to sayFor every failing sun, there's a morning afterThough I'm empty when you goI just wanted you to know

That the world is uglyBut you're beautiful to meAre you thinking of meLike I'm thinking of youI would say I'm sorry, thoughThough I really need to goI just wanted you to know

I wanted you to knowI wanted you to knowI'm thinking of you every night, every day

These are the eyes and the lies of the takenThese are their hearts but their hearts don't beat like oursThey burn 'cause they are all afraidWhen mine beats twice as hard

'Cause the world is uglyBut you're beautiful to meAre you thinking of meLike I'm thinking of youI would say I'm sorry, thoughThough I really need to goI just wanted you to knowThat the world is ugly (I just wanted you to know)But you're beautiful to me (I just wanted you to know)Are you thinking of me

Stop your crying, helpless feelingDry your eyes and start believingThere's one thing they'll never take from you

(And then your face, will be lost forever, we'll never be the sameLike ghosts in the snowLike ghosts in the sun)
